Re: [RBW] Orthos

[Andrew Joseph]

Thank you for the kind words everyone. Yes, managed a short test ride this evening!  Initial thoughts…they offer a lot more control and compliance than they look like they would.  I’ve really almost exclusively run drops for many years, but I must agree with Mackenzy. I think (for me) these bars pair very well with the Sam.

In this case I feel as if they are made for the bike and absolutely perfect proportionally and fit the build to a T. Have you had a chance to take it for a ride?  On Friday, September 20, 2024 at 2:30:34 PM UTC-7 Danny wrote: Great looking build!

I think he actually designed them to work this way. Personally, I don’t know enough about engineering or metallurgy to know if this is a good or bad idea, so please don’t think I’m advising you to do this.  On Fri, Sep 13, 2024 at 5:05 PM Andrew Joseph <drew.jo...@gmail.com> wrote: Bars slippage reports came in at an interesting point for me.  What was the consensus on getting them to stay put?  The Sam rebuild is almost there.  Orthos will be angle down slightly more, bar tape and need longer dynamo wires for the Pass and Stow…. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
